199. CHARLIE CLEMENTS, THE REBEL DOCTOR
Dr. Charlie Clements, who grew up in Austin, Texas, tells us why
he joined the US Air Force, subsequently flying non-combat
missions over Viet Nam. Clements explains why he refused to
participate further in the Viet Nam War and describes the Air
Force's response--giving him a psychiatric discharge. He then
tells how he became a Quaker pacifist, went to medical school,
and decided to go to El Salvador to give medical assistance to
the rebels. Clements' discussion of the new form of society
evolving in the "liberated areas" of El Salvador is particularly
interesting, and he provides sharp criticisms of the Reagan
administration's Central American policy.
